Flexible Travel: Renting a car in the UAE allows you to navigate the country's bustling cities and serene deserts without being tied to public transport schedules, enhancing your travel experience.
Documents for Tourists: Tourists need an original passport, a valid visit visa, and an International Driving Permit (IDP) unless from an exempt country like Austria, Canada, Germany, Japan, the UK, or the USA. A home country driving license is also required.
Documents for Residents: To rent a car, residents must present a UAE driving license valid for at least 12 months, an Emirates ID, and a valid residency visa.
Credit Card Requirement: A credit card in the renter's name is required for deposits and payments, ensuring a smooth rental process.
Driving Regulations: In the UAE, driving is on the right side of the road. Seatbelts are mandatory for all passengers, and the speed limit ranges from 100-120 km/h on highways and 60-80 km/h in urban areas, enforced by speed cameras.
Child Seat Regulations: Children under four must be in a child safety seat, and those aged 4-10 should use a booster seat if under 145 cm tall. Children under 10 cannot sit in the front seat unless in an approved rear-facing car seat with the airbag disabled.
Traffic Rules: The legal alcohol limit is 0%, and using a mobile phone while driving is prohibited unless using a hands-free device. Always adhere to traffic rules to avoid hefty fines.
Toll Roads and Fuel Costs: The UAE has toll roads, primarily in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, so ensure your rental includes a Salik tag for toll payments. Fuel is relatively cheap, and gas stations are plentiful and offer full service.
Navigation and Parking: GPS and navigation apps are recommended, as road networks can be complex. Parking is generally available, but fees may apply in busy city centres and malls. Be prepared for traffic congestion in major cities, especially during rush hours.
Driving Conditions and Insurance: Roads in the UAE are generally in excellent condition, but be cautious of sandstorms that can reduce visibility. Comprehensive insurance is highly recommended; check with your car rental provider about what is included and consider additional coverage if necessary.
